Throughout the recording process I became interested in the fundamental ideas of life and death and why people would choose to take their own lives, (reading ’The Road’ on a day long train back to London from Scotland, hungover after New Year certainly contributed to this). Slowly a narrative presented itself and the 4 tracks started to represent a journey of the final days of someone who has chosen to end everything. I became particularly interested in reading stories about people who drowned themselves in rivers or the sea – a bleak yet strangely beautiful image of someone walking their final walk into the sea became a strong visual influence for the record.
